Mark Webber has signed up to take part in the Race of Champions at Wembley Stadium in London in December.

The Australian Formula One driver will partner double World Superbike champion Troy Bayliss to form Team Australia, and they will take on the likes of F1 legend Michael Schumacher, Jenson Button and world touring car champion Andy Priaulx.

Drivers from different motor racing disciplines race identical cars on a specially built circuit and Webber said: "I've been watching the Race of Champions for the last few years and have always been really keen to do it as the concept looks great."
